  • LOVE IT. This is the seat that started our Britax obsession 3 yrs ago. It’s a little on the heavier side, but steel frame!! We will never buy another brand. Plus the seats come in cute prints/colors! Mar 07, 2021

  • High quality materials. Well made. Comfortable for my son! Fabrics have held up to two years of wear and being machine washed. Highly recommend! Nov 26, 2020

  • The sliding harness adjuster is a game changer! Jul 27, 2020

  • The fabric and materials are well-made, the straps and buckles are easy to adjust, and our little one always seemed comfortable in it. The only complaint I have, is that this seat is quite heavy. Jul 14, 2020

    Super easy to install and get in/out of car. Baby sits snuggly in the seat, which worked great with our skinny baby, but also means baby can’t see much around them, which our baby didn’t like. Jul 14, 2020

  • Baby was comfortable in this seat until 9 mo. Fell asleep every time in seat. Baby is average weight, but tall. Downside: this seat is heavy. Customer service was great when we had a base malfunction. Jun 12, 2020

  • Baby loved this, mommy did too, however it is heavy and narrow, chubby babes would not find this seat particularly comfortable. It is also very deep and not ideal for preemies. May 27, 2020

    So easy to carry and amazing safety features! Also, really easy to clean. Feb 11, 2020

  • Loved this carseat. It fit my son great from day one (He was 7.6 lbs). It was also easy to clean. Only issue was the head rest broke since it was made from just styrofoam. Dec 21, 2019

  • My little is 9.5 months old and still uses this seat. She seemed confortable as an infant and still now. I love how the straps are easily adjustable. One con is that it is quite heavy. Jul 24, 2019

    This car seat gives me peace of mind. It is very easy to install and the seat feels super plush! The only thing is that this car seat is HEAVY. If you don't mind the workout, then the seat is perfect. Jun 27, 2019

  • Too narrow. My baby is 11 weeks and just under 12 lbs, already we need a convertible car seat. She cries every time in this seat. The base is a pain on leather seats. It’s heavy! Apr 21, 2019

  • Went with Britax for the safety reviews! No complaints yet! Feb 23, 2019

    We have 6 kids, and have tried most of the major infant seats over the last 14 years. The Britax 35 elite has been my favorite. It provides a comfortable fit and is simple to install correctly. Feb 06, 2019

  • My 7lb baby fits well in this car seat. The straps are easy to adjust. I like how safe it is. Jan 29, 2019

  • LO hated this seat! It’s heavy to carry, no padding to make baby comfortable, and high price point.. Easy to snap in and out of base and straps easy to adjust, large canopy was nice, had 4 months only Jan 09, 2019

  • Not sure how I feel yet, my twins are my first & I have no other experience. Cons: heavy, narrow, swallowed my preemies (not as much now that they are 9.5 lbs). Base hangs over my seat. Jan 03, 2019

  • I love this seat. It feels very solid and my little one seems to be very comfortable in it. It clicks in and out very easily. My little one still fits in it great at 8 months. Jan 02, 2019

  • I love how safe the product feels. I will say with my son now pushing 20lbs that this seat is getting heavy to hoist up into pur suv. Oct 19, 2018

  • Very snug against baby I feel safer using this product. Breathable fabric and easy to clean. Love the different colors and the safety of mind knowing child is as safe as can be Sep 05, 2018

  • It snapped in and out very easily and was not TOO heavy for me to carry. Aug 30, 2018

  • This carseat is a little on the heavy side, but I feel that it is because of how high-quality it is, so I don't mind. I also love how much coverage the hood provides. It's also easy to strap them in! Aug 18, 2018

  • Absolutely love how simple and safe it is! Works great with our two different strollers! Bob and briax b agile strollers Jul 18, 2018

  • Easy to use. A little heavy but it’s worth the extra weight for the safety features. Easily adjustable for increasing weight and height. Base is easy to install and extras are reasonably priced. Jul 14, 2018

  • Way too narrow for my little guy. I can tell he is uncomfortable. Returned for a chicco instead and much happier. I was saddened because I know the safety ratings are wonderful. Jun 27, 2018

  • I bought this because of the safety ratings, however, we hate this. It is so narrow and super uncomfortable for the baby. It smushes their shoulders and they can hardly move. It’s also really heavy. Jun 21, 2018

  • No complaints! I love the style & ease of use, not confusing for a first time mom but I feel so secure placing a newborn in it! I also love how easily it snaps right into my strollers! Apr 20, 2018

  • i bought it when my baby was born because it looked pretty secure, however she never liked it, she is skinny so she fits fine but its too narrow for a chubbier baby. Mar 29, 2018

  • This car seat is heavy and deep! I feel that my baby is safe but I hate carrying it AND my baby has never like sitting in it. Because it is so deep, it is hard to buckle as well. Mar 27, 2018

    It's a safe seat, very safe. However, customer service is merely ok, and this seat had a bump in the plastic where it was raised, leaving a bruise on my son's lower back. My son hates this seat too. Mar 01, 2018

  • Im indifferent. This car seat is very safe, but is very small and wont last our twins till they are 1 year old. My twins were born early and are only 7 months old and its a very tight fit already. Feb 20, 2018

  • Baby was super uncomfortable in this car seat. The thick padding inside made it very narrow and hot. She was also so sweaty when she came out of the seat and she cried in it every time. Feb 15, 2018

  • Used these for my twins. Easy to carry and use the straps, easy to click into the base. Was able to use converter with the City Select double stroller with no problem. Would recommend! Jan 21, 2018

    I loved the price and safety ratings. However it is so tight and hard to get them in and out of once baby reaches 10 + lbs. It is insanely heavy! I wish I had gone for a different car seat. Jan 18, 2018

  • Have for baby due in sept. Haven’t been able to use it yet. Jan 09, 2018

    We’ve tried many car seats and this was my favorite. Very easy to adjust. The quality and safety rating is top notch. It is a bit heavy but most infant seats are. The install is SUPER easy. Jan 04, 2018

  • I love my 2 BSafe Elite’s I feel safe having my twins in these seats. No rethread straps, deluxe seat, removable cover! You can’t go wrong! Britax has the best seats on the market in my opinion. Dec 03, 2017

  • After a ton of research we settled on this seat for our little guy. It is great and we know he is secure in his seat. He doesn't love being put in, but once he's strapped in he doesn't mind it. Nov 25, 2017

  • Awesome protection for my newborn. Nov 06, 2017

  • Amazing infant car seat. A little on the heavy side but felt secure from the first ride home and only just tranaitioned him to a convertible at one year. Loved it with the City Mini GT. Oct 31, 2017

  • This carseat is one of the few models that is approved for preemies given its minimum capacity weight of 4 pounds. We picked the elite version for its side impact protection. Oct 21, 2017

  • My daughter is super snug and secure. Clicks into the base easy. Material wipes clean. Oct 07, 2017

    Love this car seat, safe & well made, works great w/ my Britax B-Agile stroller. It lasted my son until he was close to 18 months but he was on the shorter and slimmer side. It is heavier than others Oct 06, 2017

  • Super easy to install and I love how easy it is to adjust! Also it fits babies 4lbs and up which very few carseats do safely. So thank goodness I happened to get one cuz I had a tiny preemie! Sep 21, 2017
